| Cannes Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Considering a Cannes vacation? Not too sure what to expect during a trip to Cannes? If the answer is yes and yes, then there are a few things you should know about this awe-inspiring resort city on the fabulous French Riviera. Cannes is famous for couture, clothing-optional beaches, and the Carlton. And of course, Cannes is the place where Coco Chanel got that famous tan that sparked a worldwide obsession with the deepest, darkest shade one could possibly achieve. But what most people really think of when hear "Cannes" is the star-studded annual Cannes International Film Festival. You will definitely hear less and less about what Cannes is really about and more and more about who's wearing (and not wearing) what to the Cannes International Film Festival during the first half of the year. If you must go during festival time (or if you want to), be prepared for plenty of flashing cameras, celebrities galore, controlled chaos, and no vacancy signs at the Carlton, Hotel Martinez, and just about any other hotel or Chateau from Cannes to Nice and beyond. |

this time as well and your chances of getting into a screening are nearly

This is not to say that the Cannes club scene isn't hot -- it certainly is. But, the people of Cannes would much rather hit a casino than a dance club. At least this is what we've heard. Cannes has a number of world-class casinos such as Palm Beach Casino (www.lepalmbeach.com) and the veteran Casino Croisette (www.lucienbarriere.com), as well as some of the hippest clubs in France such as Le Life (22 rue Mace) and swank bars such as Bar des Stars in the Hotel Majestic Barriere (14 La Croisette). One thing to keep in mind when visiting "pretty people" nightclubs, bars or lounges and any casino -- dress the part or you won't get in.
